Hangzhou Author

Joshua · Reed

Greetings! I’m Joshua Reed, Deep China Travel’s Hangzhou content strategist and enthusiast. After spending five years in the city of West Lake, I’m completely enchanted by its poetic landscapes and timeless charm. My background in literature and landscape architecture allows me to interpret Hangzhou’s beauty through multiple lenses—from Su Dongpo’s ancient poems to the modern design of tea plantations. I regularly cycle around the lake at dawn, ferry between islands, and savor Longjing tea overlooking verdant hills. I design itineraries combining scenic boat rides, tea‑tasting sessions, and visits to serene temples. My writing focuses on helping travelers feel the soul of Hangzhou, not just see it: whether you’re seeking quiet reflection or romantic moments on a lake cruise, I’m here to craft your dream experience. Join me in discovering why Hangzhou is known as “Heaven on Earth.”
